About this study

Official title: IMPACT-TB (Imatinib Mesylate Per Oral as a Clinical Therapeutic for TB): A Phase II Clinical Trial of the Safety, Pharmacokinetics and Hematologic Effects of Imatinib on Myelopoiesis in Adults When Given With and Without Isoniazid and Rifabutin

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and effects of imatinib on myelopoiesis in adults when given with and without isoniazid and rifabutin. The results of this trial will determine the imatinib dose to be studied in a subsequent Phase IIB treatment trial of imatinib as an adjunctive therapy with an antimicrobial regimen (rifabutin, pyrazinamide (PZA), isoniazid (INH) and ethambutol) for drug-sensitive TB.

Read the detailed description

With existing anti-tubercular drug therapies, treatment of drug-susceptible TB takes at least 6 months and success rates for multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extensively drug resistant TB (XDR-TB) are a dismal 50 and 20%, respectively, highlighting the urgent need for new TB drugs. The cancer drug imatinib limits mycobacterial infections in culture and animal models by reducing both entry into macrophages and augmenting phagolysosomal fusion (autophagy), which may facilitate antigen presentation and pathogen killing. Additionally, imatinib induces increases in myeloid cells (myelopoiesis), and an innate immune response to infection that mimics so-called "emergency hematopoiesis," a response that Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) appears to suppress. Importantly, these mechanisms can be induced in animal models by oral doses substantially lower than those used in people to combat cancer. The dose-dependence has important implications for TB clinical studies in humans, as it suggests that imatinib could improve TB treatment using doses that impart minimal, if any, toxicity.

This study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and effects of imatinib on myelopoiesis in adults when given with and without isoniazid and rifabutin (antibiotics to treat mycobacterial infections).

Participants will be enrolled into one of two cohorts. In Cohort 1, participants will be enrolled in a dose-escalating fashion to receive one of four doses of imatinib alone for 14 days, followed by imatinib in combination with rifabutin and isoniazid for another 14 days.

In Cohort 2, participants will receive rifabutin and isoniazid for 14 days, followed by 14 days of rifabutin and isoniazid in combination with one of the two selected doses of imatinib. The exact doses of imatinib administered in Cohort 2 will be determined after analyzing data from Cohort 1.

After safety evaluations of participants enrolled into the first two dose levels of Cohort 1, the intervention of imatinib followed by imatinib in combination with rifabutin and isoniazid was discontinued. The study protocol was amended to evaluate the effects of imatinib alone, at 3 escalating doses.

Total study duration for participants will be 50 days, during which time participants will attend several study visits. Study visits may include a physical exam, electrocardiogram, blood and urine collection, and pharmacokinetic assessments.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Myelomonocytic Cells in the Blood

    Immunologic effects of the study treatment are assessed by counting myelomonocytic cells in blood samples. An increase in myelomonocytic cells is used to determine the appropriate therapeutic dose of imatinib.

    Measured: Days 1, 7, 14, 21, 28, 42

  2. Frequency of Grade 3 or 4 Adverse Events (AEs)

    The number of grade 3 or 4 adverse events occurring among study participants is presented here. Adverse events are graded using the FDA Guidance Document, "Toxicity Grading Scale for Healthy Adult and Adolescent Volunteers Enrolled in Preventive Vaccine Clinical Trials Guidance for Industry," September 2007, or other guidance, as applicable.

    Measured: Measured through Day 50

  3. Frequency of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    The number of serious adverse events occurring among study participants is presented here. Adverse events are graded using the FDA Guidance Document, "Toxicity Grading Scale for Healthy Adult and Adolescent Volunteers Enrolled in Preventive Vaccine Clinical Trials Guidance for Industry," September 2007, or other guidance, as applicable.

    Measured: Measured through Day 50

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. White Blood Cell Count

    The normal range for white blood cell counts is between 4,000 and 11,000 cells per microliter. White blood cell counts increase during infections, autoimmune diseases and some types of cancer. Low white blood cell counts occur with immune system diseases and certain types of cancer.

    Measured: Days 1, 7, 14, 21, 28, 42

  2. Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Imatinib

    Blood samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses of imatinib were collected at 6 time points over approximately 24 hours. Samples collection occurred at hour 0 (pre-dose), and 0.5 hours, 2 hours, 4.0 hours, 8.0 hours, and 24 hours post-dose. PK samples were taken after 14 days of imatinib alone (all study arms) and after 14 days of imatinib with rifabutin and isoniazid (Cohorts 1a and 1b). The PK parameter Cmax is the highest concentration of imatinib in blood following dosing.

    Measured: Day 14, Day 28

  3. Half-life (T1/2) of Imatinib

    Blood samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses of imatinib were collected at 6 time points over approximately 24 hours. Samples collection occurred at hour 0 (pre-dose), and 0.5 hours, 2 hours, 4.0 hours, 8.0 hours, and 24 hours post-dose. PK samples were taken after 14 days of imatinib alone (all study arms) and after 14 days of imatinib with rifabutin and isoniazid (Cohorts 1a and 1b). The PK parameter T1/2 is the time when imatinib in blood is half of the maximum concentration.

    Measured: Day 14, Day 28

  4. Area Under the Curve (AUC) for Imatinib

    Blood samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses of imatinib were collected at 6 time points over approximately 24 hours.

PK samples were taken after 14 days of imatinib alone (all study arms) and after 14 days of imatinib with rifabutin and isoniazid (Cohorts 1a and 1b). The PK parameter AUC is the overall exposure to imatinib.

    Measured: Day 14, Day 28

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Imatinib, Isoniazid and Rifabutin in people with Tuberculosis, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 40 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Sep 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Myelomonocytic Cells in the Blood (time frame: Days 1, 7, 14, 21, 28, 42). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Oct 2023.
